Episode 14.9-10 (1/2)

Eda spoke up after breakfast.

”Think I'm gonna drop by Shira-san's place today.”

”Yea. You should.”

Eda apparently has an aptitude for mind magic. Unclear whether it's at a practical level or not, but learning even just one mind magic spell will seemingly gives one resistance to the entire mind magic. On top of that privilege, the strength of that resistance rises in accordance to the user's mana pool. As such, having Eda practice magic at Shira's place is a very good thing.

There's something bugging Lecan.

(Someone's in front of the gate.)

A human has been standing motionlessly outside the front gate for a while now. Someone who possesses a little bit of mana.

If they had a business with Lecan or Eda, they would have called out to them from there, yet they didn't.

Just who and why are they there.

Lecan got out of the house into the small garden.

Walls taller than Lecan enclose the house, he can't see the other party from where he is.

(Mwu.)

However, Lecan sensed it.

The person in front of the gate is no ordinary man.

They're quite skilled.

Of course, by skilled here refers to their capability as a warrior, not a mage. Even though Lecan can sense mana someone possesses, he has no way of knowing about their magical prowess.

”<Float> <Move>.”

After removing the bolt, Lecan casually walked off to the gate and pushed it open.

A young man who was standing next to the gate walked right in front of it before bowing down.

”Please excuse me for intruding this early in the morning.”

Lecan has seen this man somewhere before. Where was it again.

”Are you going out? I shall wait in the house if you're in a hurry.”

”No you won't. State your business.”

”Would you be so kind as to let me in the house?”

Lecan recalled who this young man was after glancing at the sword hanging on his waist.

”Come in, Arios.”

Arios the swordsman bowed once again before stepping forward past the gate.

”Say what?”

”I would like to study under Lecan-dono as your pupil if you would.”

”I heard that. I'm asking why you'd want to study under someone who almost killed you.”

”Your actions truly moved me.”

”What?”

Several days ago, Eda was abducted by Goncourt House. Lecan raided Goncourt mansion, found Eda and went to question the family head.

This swordsman, Arios was the one who stood before him in front of the family head's room.

Arios tried to stop Lecan from entering the room.

Lecan cut Arios down and cast him aside.
